For some reasons, I never get used to use the Windows Mobile clients of
NewsGator but I always preferred NewsGator Online which is also also available
as NewsGator Mobile Edition for use with mobile phones. While it worked quite
good with Windows Mobile's inbuilt Internet Explorer Mobile it never worked that
good with Opera Software's
recently released Opera Mobile 9.5 Windows Mobile browser which is also
preinstalled on many Windows Mobile smartphones now. For some reasons, even if a
mobile device site, it always opens the pages zoomed-out in the overview mode
which requires a lot of zoom-in/zoom-out to read RSS feeds or to tap any links:

Anyway, with the release of the iPhone last year, NewsGator also released an
iPhone compatible NewsGator Mobile site which also works brilliant with Opera
Mobile 9.5. Beside it's also looking a little bit nicer with the RSS icon in
front of each RSS feed, it's instantly opening all pages zoomed-in which allows
immediately reading and tapping on links:

Anyway, if you are also using NewsGator Online and Opera Mobile 9.5, I
definitely suggest to try out NewsGator Online Mobile on your Windows Mobile
smartphone as well. It's available through
http://m.newsgator.com/.
If you are currently not using NewsGator, you might want to
create a
NewsGator Online account and want to
download a client for your Computer as well, it's definitely worth and for
me, the NewsGator readers are still the best available RSS feed readers
available.

The Mobile NewsGator site was available for a couple of years before the iPhone came out. I've been using it on my Windows Mobile devices since the launch of their NewsGator Enterprise Server, which I had installed for review back then. The mobile version was then ported to their free service as well.

It's not an "iPhone" thing...

That's exactly what I said, NewsGator Online Mobile Edition came (a litttle bit later) after NewsGator Online but have you ever tried to use it with Opera Mobile 9.5 (I mean the version with the PIN which doesn't requires a login). It requires zoom in/out. NewsGator Mobile for iPhone was just launched last year and this works way better with Opera 9.5.
